Thought I'd share some of my favorite Pokopia screenshots! I love this game so much, it's the cutest #pokopia

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is.

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Sorry to keep bringing this post back, but I haven't had consistent work in months, and my most recent offer fell apart after I mentioned needing to be paid money. So if you want to pay a pixel artist with over a decade of industry experience, that's me! 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 💻 www.hrpixelart.com

Idk, this week has been fucking brutal for me. I feel on fire and all this anger is pouring out in a million different directions. Women deserve better. We deserve a space at the table and to feel safe at it. We deserve the same opportunities these pieces of shit regularly get. We deserve it all.

i'm glad that today at @mothership.blog we can share a review of the game Moonlight Peaks by @zoehhannah.com. this game is adorable and sweet and a little bit deeper than you might expect

mothership.blog

Moonlight Peaks strikes just the right balance between cutesy and deep

It's unapologetically dramatic, it’s cute as hell (literally), and it has *magic*

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.
